Narrative:
Passing 8500 ft AGL climbing out of tampa, the #2 engine overheat light came on. We ran the emergency checklist for engine overheat, which requires the thrust lever to be brought to idle. The light went out. We declared an emergency, briefed the 'a' flight attendant and returned to tpa using single engine procedures. We performed an overweight landing. Maintenance verified that we had developed a leak in the bleed air duct.
